Get ready for three juicy days of flavour, fun, and farm-fresh goodness! The Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) has announced that the much-loved Mango Festival is back for its fourth edition from June 27 to 29 at Expo Khor Fakkan, and it promises more mango magic than ever before.

Organised in collaboration with Khor Fakkan Municipality and the Municipal Council, the 2025 festival will spotlight over 150 local mango varieties grown across the UAE. From farm-fresh displays and exciting competitions to cultural showcases and hands-on workshops, this event is all about celebrating the UAE’s agricultural heritage and community spirit.

A Festival Rooted in Local Pride

Held under the theme “Mango: Our Fruit, Our Wealth”, this year’s edition focuses on promoting agri-tourism in the Eastern Region while supporting local farmers, small producers, and homegrown talent. It’s also aligned with the UAE’s Food Security Strategy 2051, putting the spotlight on sustainable farming and food resilience.

What to Expect at Mango Festival 2025:

• Mango Mazayna (Beauty Contest): Show off your best home-grown mangoes on Day 1. Only fresh, defect-free mangoes from personal gardens/farms are allowed.
• Best Mango Basket (Day 2): Families can compete to present the most beautiful, handmade mango basket.
• Agriculture Video Contest (Day 3): Kids aged 7–12 can submit a 1-minute farming-themed video.
• Best Farmer’s Booth: Held across all three days, this public-vote contest will reward the top display of locally sourced mangoes (at least five varieties required).
